Tiivistelmä

The aim of this paper is to provide outline and classify means of transport used 

in fairy tales. The select corpus on which the findings are based and from which 

examples  are  borrowed  includes  different  collections  of  Slavic  tales  for  young 

(elementary-school) readers. As a “control group”, fairy tales found in the Grimms’ 

Kinder- und Hausmärchen will also be consulted throughout the text. Utilizing a 

structural approach (Propp, Apo), the main goal of the paper is to discern general 

structural elements (specifically, means of transport) in the tales, rather than interpret 

their concrete realizations.
